Trolley solution

I immediately pull the switch when I hear flattens all the world’s billionaires. The only problem is I can only do it once.

Hop on the trolley as it passes and put it in reverse! It would delay the world in getting its high-speed rail, but it's a small price to pay to make sure

The options for trolly problems are usually “pull” and “don’t pull”, but this one needs “guard the lever with my life to make sure nobody fucking pulls it”

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

bro have you TASTED this boot?!

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm assuming felsiq wants it guarded because the path it's already on is going to crunch some billies

[–] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 days ago

And Sippy is joking that felsiq should try boot licking instead

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

break the lever so that it cannot be pulled

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Can I add more trolleys? Can the highspeed rail go back and cover the same path the trolley took? Please?

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 days ago

-- to make sure it ran over all of the billionaires. lol

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Instructions unclear, Billionaire got fattened and the public high speed rail got flattened.

Thank you for understanding.

The Trolley Problem here is that this trolley doesn't exist...

Yet

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Can we then use the high speed electric tren to run over the trillionaires

[–] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

But? I think you mean “and”.

[–] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Wait no that would put it on the empty track!!
